PART I -- KNOWN ASSETS OF STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM

The f o l l o w i n g i n f o r m a t i o n describes the nature and extent of assets w i t h i n United Sfates j u r i s d i c t i o n t h a t belong t o countries i d e n t i f i e d as s t a t e sponsors of t e r r o r i s m . These countries and the gross amounts of t h e i r r e p o r t e d U.S.-based assets are ( i n m i l l i o n s ) : Cuba - $170.6; I r a n - $22.5; I r a q - $2,200.2; Libya -$951.3; North Korea - $26.3; Sudan - $17.3, and Syria - $51.0. The t o t a l of t h e i r gross assets w i t h i n U.S. j u r i s d i c t i o n i s $3,439 b i l l i o n d o l l a r s .

The assets reported f o r I r a n i n E x h i b i t A are diplomatic p r o p e r t i e s remaining blocked since the 1979-81 hostage c r i s i s . A v a r i e t y of other o b l i g a t i o n s t o I r a n may u l t i m a t e l y be determined to e x i s t , depending on the outcome of cases before the Iran-U.S. Claims T r i b u n a l .

Almost n i n e t y - n i n e percent of the known assets w i t h i n U.S. j u r i s d i c t i o n of s t a t e sponsors of t e r r o r i s m are blocked by the Department of the Treasury. However, not a l l of the blocked assets are l i t e r a l l y w i t h i n the United States. S u b s t a n t i a l amounts, i d e n t i f i e d f u r t h e r below, are i n f o r e i g n branches of U.S. banks. They are blocked because, under U.S. law, those bank branches are subject t o United States j u r i s d i c t i o n . Consequently, those assets are not blocked at i n s t i t u t i o n s w i t h i n the United States.

Changes i n the value, l o c a t i o n , and composition of the blocked assets i d e n t i f i e d below occur over time as OFAC receives r e p o r t s from holders of blocked assets i d e n t i f y i n g a d d i t i o n a l assets of sanctioned c o u n t r i e s , updates i n f o r m a t i o n received from holders of blocked accounts on accrued i n t e r e s t and f l u c t u a t i n g market values, or licenses v a r i o u s t r a n s a c t i o n s i n accordance w i t h U.S. f o r e i g n p o l i c y o b j e c t i v e s and app l i c a b l e law.

On January 23, 1995, by Executive Order No. 12947, I declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt the Middle East peace process. By Executive Order No. 12947 of January 23, 1995, I blocked the assets in the United States, or in the control of United States persons, of foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. I also prohibited transactions or dealings by United States persons in such property. Because terrorist activities continue to threaten the Middle East peace process and vital interests of the United States in the Middle East, the national emergency declared on January 23, 1995, and the measures that took effect on January 24, 1995, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23, 1996. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

Letter to Congressional Leaders Reporting on Terrorists Who Threaten the Middle East Peace Process January 28.1997

Dear Mr. Speaker (Dear Mr. President:) I hereby report to the Congress on the de

velopments concerning the national emergency with respect to terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process that was declared in Executive Order 12947 of January 23. 1995. This report is submitted pursuant to section 401(c) of the National Emergencies Act. 50 U.S.C. 1641(c). and section 204(c) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (lEEPA). 50 U.S.C. 1703(c). Since the crisis with respect to the grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that threaten the Middle East peace process has not been resolved, on January 21. 1997,1 renewed this national emergency in accordance with sertion 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)).

1. On January 23.1995.1 signed Executive Orfler 12947. "Prohibiting Transactions wit'. Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt the Middle East Peace Process" (the "Onder") (60 Fed. Refi. 5079. Januar>' 25. 1995). The order blocks all property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which there is any interest of 12 terronst organizations that threaten the Middle Elast peace pnxwss as identified in an Annex to the order. The order also blocks the property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction of persons desigrwted b\' the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of the Treasure- and the Attorney General, who are found (1) to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, acts of Molence that have the purpose or effect of disrupting the Middle East peace process, or (2) to assist in. sponsor, or proxide financial, material, or technological support for. or services in support of. such acts of Moience. In addition, the order blocks ali property and interests in property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which there IS any interest of persons determined bv the Secretary of* the Treasury, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Attomev General, to be owned or controlled bv. or

to act for or on behalf of. any other person designated pursuant to the order (collectively "Spedallv Designated Terrorists" or "SDTs"):

The order further prohibits any transaction or dealing by a United Sutes person or within the United States in property or interests in property of SDTs. including the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services to or for the benefit of such -seisons. This prohibition includes donations that are intended to relieve human suffering. Designations of persons blocked pursuant to the order are ettective up>n the date of determination bv the Secretary of State or his delegate, or the Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) acting under authority delegated by the Secretaiy of the Treasuiy. Pubuc notice of bkxJdng is effective upon the date of fUing with die Fed-eral Register or upon prior actual notice.

2. On Januaiy 25. 1995. the Department of the Treasuiy issued a notice listing persons blocked puisuant to Executive Order 12947 who have been designated hv the President as terrorist organizations oireatening the Middle East peace process or who have been found to be ownea or controlled by, or to be acting for or on behalf of. these tenorist organizations (60 Fed. Reg. 5084. January 25. 1995). The notice identified 31 entities that act for or on behalf of the 12 Middle East terrorist organizations listed in the Annex to Executive Order 12947. as well as 18 individuals who are leaden or representatives of these groups. In addition the notice provides 9 name variations or pseudonyms used by the 18 individuals identified. The list identifies blocked persons who have been found to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing, acts of violence that have the purpose of disrupting the Middle East peace process or to have assisted in. sponsoreo. or provided financial, material, or technological support for. or service in support of. such acts of violence, or are owned or controUed by. or to act for or on behalf of other blocked persons. The Department of the Treasuiy issued three additional notices adding the names of three individuals, as well as their pseudonyms, to the List of SDTs (60 Fed. Reg. 41152. August 11. 1995; 60 Fed Reg. 44932. August 29. 1995; and 60 Fed Reg. 58435,

118 Jan. 29 I Administration of William J. Clintm. 1997

November 27, 1995). The OFAC. in coordination with the Secretary of Sute and the Attorney General, is continuing to expand the list of Specially Designated Terrorists, including both organizations and indixiduals. as additional information is de%'eloped.

3. On February 2. 1996. the OFAC issued the Terrorism Sanctions Regulations (the "TSRs") (61 Fed Reg 3805. February- 2. 1996). The TSRs implement the President's declaration of a national emergenc%' and imposition of sanctions against certain persons whose acts of violence have the purpose or effect of disrupting the Middle East peace process.

4. The expenses incurred by the Federal Government in the 6-month period from JuK 23, 1996. through Januaiy 22. 1997. that are directly attributable to the exercise of powers and authorities conferred by the declaration ofthe national emergency with respect to organizations that disrupt the Middle East peace process are esbmated at approximateK $285,000.

5. Executive Order 12947 provides this Administration with a new tool for combanng fundraising in this country on behalf of organizations that use terror to undermine the Middle East peace process. The order makes it harder for such groups to finance these cnminal activities by cutting off their access to sources of support in the United States and to U.S. financial facilities. It is also intended to reach charitable contributions to designated organizaUons and individuals to preclude diversion of such donauons to terrorist activities.

In addition, comprehensive counterter-ronsm legislation was enacted on April 24. 1996. that would strengthen our abilirv to prevent terrorist acts, identify those who carry them out. and bring them to jusnce. The combination of Executive Order 12947 and the Antiterronsm and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 demonstrate the United States determination to confront and combat those who would seek to destrov the Middle East peace process, and our commitment to the global fight against terronsm.

1 shall connnue to exercise the powers at my disposal to apply economic sanctions against extremists seeking to destro\ the hopes of peaceful coexistence berween Arabs

and Israelis as long as these measures are appropriate, and will continue to report periodically to the Congress on significant dexel-opments pursuant to 50 U.S.C. 1703(c).

Sincerely, William J. Clinton

Continuation of Emergency Regarding Terrorists Who Threaten To Disrupt 3ie Middle East Peace Process

On January 23, 1995. by Executive Order 12947. I declared a national emergency to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States constituted by grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt the Middle East peace process. By Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995, I blocked the assets in the United States, or in the control of United States persons, of foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. I also prohibited transactions or dealings by United States persons in such property. In 1996 and 1997. I transmitted notices of the continuation of this national emergency to the Congress and the Federal Register. Last year's notice of continuation was published in the Federal Register on January 22. 1997. Because terrorist activities continue to threaten the Middle East peace process and vital interests of the United States in the Middle East, the national emergency declared on January 23. 1995. and the measures that took effect on January 24, 1995, to deal with that emergency must continue in effect beyond January 23, 1998. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing the national emergency with respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the Middle East peace process. This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

(3) the power of the United Sutes over immigration and naturalization permits the exclusion from the United Sutes of persons belonging to intemational terrorist organizations;

(4) intemational terronsm affects the mtersute and foreign commerce of the United Sutes by harming intemational trade and market subility, and limiting intemational travel by United Sutes citizens as well as foreign visitors to the United Sutes;

(6) some foreign terrorist organizations, acting through affiliated groups or individuals, raise significant funds within the United Sutes. or use the United SUtes as a conduit for the receipt of funds raised in other nations; and

Background In furtherance of section 303 of the

Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. Public Law 104-132. 110 Stat. 1214-1319 (the "Act"), implemented in part by the Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 597 (62 FR 52493. Oct. 8, 1997—the "Regulations") the Office of Foreign /Assets Control is adding the following 30 foreign terrorist organizations ("FTOs") to appendix A to 31 CFR chapter V. Section 303 ofthe Act (new 18 U.S.C. 2339B). as implemented in § 597.201 of the Regulations, requires financial institutions in possession or control of funds in which a foreign terrorist organization or its agent has an interest to block such funds except as authorized pursuant to the Regulations, and to file reports in accordance with the Regulations. Financial institutions that violate of 18 U.S.C. 2339B(a)(2) and the Regulations are subject to civil penalties administered by the Treasury Department.

These 30 FTOs were designated by the Secretary of State in a notice published in the Federzd Register on October 8. 1997 (62 FR 52650) pursuant to section 302 of the Act (new 8 U.S.C. 1189). which authorizes the Secretary of

State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attomey General, to designate organizations meeting stated requirements as FTOs. with prior notification to Congress of the intent to designate. Appendix A contains the names of blocked persons, specially designated nationals, specially designated terrorists, and specially designated naircotics traffickers designated pursuant to the various economic sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (62 FR 34934. June 27. 1997).

Finally, the entry "Akram Al-Ogaily" is removed from appendices A and B as a specially designated national of Iraq, since he has been determined to no longer meet the criteria for designation under sanctions administered against Iraq.

Since this rule involves a foreign affairs function, the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date, are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612) does not apply.

For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority of 18 U.S.C. 2339B. 22 U.S.C. 287c; 31 U.S.C. 321(b); 50 U.S.C. 1701-1706; 50 U.S.C. App. 1-44. appendices A and B to 31 CFR chapter V are amended as set forth below:

1. The notes to the appendices to chapter V are revised to read as follows;

APPENDICES TO CHAPTER V

3. For blocked vessels: name, sanctions program under which the vessel is blocked, registration of vessel, type, size in dead weight and/or gross tons, call sign, vessel owner, and alternate names.

4. Abbreviations: "a.k.a" means "also known as"; "f.k.a." means "formerly known as": "n.k.a." means "now known as"; "DOB" means "date of birth"; "DWT" means "Deadweight"; "FRY (S&M)" means Federal

67730 Federal Register / Vol. 62. No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

Repulalic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Momen^o)"; "GRT" means "Gross Registered Tonnage": "POB" means "place of birth •; "SRBH" refers to the suspended sanctions against the Bosnian Serbs.

5. U.S. financial institutions are cautioned to review the details of a transaction prior to blocking in which the abbreviation of a foreign terrorist organization ("FTO") appears in appendix A to ensure that the transaction relates to the FTO.

6. References to regulatory parts in chapter V: [CUBA]: Cuban Assets Control Regulations,

part 515; (FRY (S&M)]: Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 85 and 89 [AMS-FRL-5939-5]

Control of Air Pollution: Emission Standards for New Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines at or Above 37 Kilowatts; Preemption of State Regulation for Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Standards; Amendments to Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Direct fmal rule.

SUMMARY: This direct final rulemaking, consistent with an order and opinion from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, amends EPA's regulations setting emission standards for large (at or above 37 kilowatts) nonroad compression ignition engines, and EPA's regulations establishing procedures for EPA authorization of California nonroad emission standards. Specifically. EPA is withdrawing portions of an interpretive rule which set forth the Agency's position on the Clean Air Act (Act) regarding the status of certain internal combustion engines manufactured before the effective date of the final rulemaking promulgating EPA's definition of nonroad engine. Additionally, consistent with the D.C. Circuit opinion, EPA also is amending the remaining text of this interpretive rule, as well as EPA's regulations issued under section 209(e) of the Act regarding the Agency's California nonroad standards authorization process, to clarify that California must seek authorization from EPA prior to enforcing standards and other requirements relating to emissions from any nonroad vehicles or engines, and not just new nonroad vehicles and engines, which was the original language used in these regulations. DATES: This direct final rule is effective on March 2. 1998 unless notice is received by January 29, 1998 that any person wishes to submit adverse

comments and/or request a hearing. Should EPA receive such notice, EPA will publish a timely document in the Federal Register withdrawing this direct final rule. Any party who sends EPA notice of intent to submit adverse comments must in turn submit the adverse comments by March 2, 1998, unless a hearing is requested. Any party objecting to this direct final rule, at the time it notifies EPA of its intent to submit adverse comments, can request EPA to hold a public hearing on this action. If a hearing is requested, it will take place on March 2, 1998. and interested parties will have an additional 30 days after the hearing (until March 30, 1998) to submit comments on any information presented at the hearing. Because no hearing will occur absent a request for one. interested parties should contact Robert M. Doyle at the number listed below after January 29. 1998 to determine whether a hearing will take place. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted (in duplicate if possible) to: Air Docket Section (6102), Attention: Docket No. A-91-24, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W.. Washington. D.C. 20460, or hand-delivered to the Air Docket at the above address, in Room M-1500, Waterside Mall. A copy of written comments should also be submitted to Robert M. Doyle at the address below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert M. Doyle, Attorney/Advisor, Engine Programs and Compliance Division (6403J . U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 401 M.

Authority for the actions set forth in this direct final rule is granted to EPA by sections 209. 213, and 301 ofthe Clean Air Act as amended (42 U.S.C. 7543, 7547, and 7601). A. Amendments and Redesignation of Appendix Containing Interpretive Rule on Date and Scope of Nonroad Preemption

On May 17, 1993, EPA proposed rules setting standards for emissions from nonroad compression ignition engines at or above 3'7 kilowatts (approximately 50 horsepower) in power (large nonroad engine rule).' In this NPRM, EPA was faced with the question (among many issues) of the manner and the extent to which states could regulate nonroad engines, which some states and localities previously had regulated as stationary sources. EPA noted that while emissions from nonroad engines are excluded from the Act's section 302 (z) definition of stationary source, the exclusion would apply only to those nonroad internal combustion engines that are manufactured after the effective

' 58 FR 28809 (May 17. 1993). ^Section 302(z) states that the "term stationary

source' means generally any source of an air pollutant except those emissions resulting directly from an internal combustion engine for transportation purposes or from a nonroad engine or nonroad vehicle as defined in section 216."
